“We used to say that ours is not the
struggle of one day, one week, or one year. Ours is not the
struggle of one judicial appointment or presidential term. Ours is the
struggle of a lifetime, or maybe even many lifetimes, and each one of us in every generation must do our part. And if we believe in the change we seek, then it is easy to commit to doing all we can, because the responsibility is ours alone to build a better society and a more peaceful world.” --Congressman John Lewis, 1940-2020
I, for one, won't give up. It angers me to no end that my daughters have fewer rights today than I did when I was their age.
My older daughter is 23 today. My younger one will be 21 on the 19th. They're worth
fighting for.

"Struggle" and "Fight" are mentioned several more times in that thread.
What does struggle and fight mean though? What's the applied version of that?
It doesn't mean just sit on our hands. It doesn't mean hoping the Republicans will at least use lube.
This is fighting. This is struggling. This is resisting.
Now if you all don't have the stomach for it, that's fine. But I am not going to be told to value the human life, freedom, and spirit less than laws stemming from a belief that dying in childbirth is a part of God's plan. That is a non-starter.
